A tiny brown-and-white puppy was found wandering alone in Carbineer Road, down the hill towards the river, at around lunchtime on Tuesday (June 2).

The frightened young dog appeared to be lost, hungry and unsure where to go. Concerned for her safety, a local resident stopped to help after noticing her running around.

Good Samaritan steps in

“I found the puppy when I was coming home for lunch. She was scared and hungry, so I picked her up and brought her home. I fed her and made sure she was safe,” the resident explained.

Puppy taken to safety

Later that day, the resident’s brother collected the puppy and took her to the Animal Anti-Cruelty League, where she is currently being cared for while efforts are made to locate her owners or find a new home.

Help reunite puppy with owners

Community members are being encouraged to share the puppy’s story as widely as possible in the hope of finding either her owners or a loving adoptive family.

What the dog looks like

The puppy is described as:

• Female
• Brown-and-white in colour
• Young
